In a new interview with Thomas Jane, the actor talks briefly about The Punisher 2:

Well, the problem has always been getting a decent script. We actually have a script that’s being turned in this week and we all have our fingers crossed, you know? We’d love to do it. Everybody wants to do it, but we all want to make a good movie. It starts with the script. We’ve gotta get a good script, and then we’ll be ready to rock. The plan is to start the “Punisher 2” in June; of course, I think I said that last year, too.
